Self-Awareness for Everyone
Applied Guidance for Mindfulness
Meet Your Host
I am MJ Blehart - a dreamer, philosopher, geek, writer, editor, amateur photographer, and medieval fencer/herald/
re-enactor. I’ve been writing fiction since I was 9 and have been blogging regularly for more than 10 years.
I believe that Consciousness Creates Reality. Thus, I’m certain that we have the power to make our lives into whatever we believe we can. And that begins with self-awareness.
I have the pleasure of serving as your guide through easy-to-use mindfulness tools, conscious reality creation, and other devices for unselfish self-awareness.
Currently, I live in New Jersey (near Philadelphia) with my wife and two feline overlords (cats).
What is Non-Toxic Positivity and Why Does it Matter?
Toxic positivity is the idea that if you think positive – and ONLY positive - your life will be the best it can be. It rather blatantly disregards, ignores, or turns a blind eye to anything that’s not positive.
Positivity in this manner turns anything not positive into an enemy.
The key to non-toxic positivity is recognizing that it’s not simply thought or feeling. Positivity is an attitude, a choice that you make in any and all given situations or circumstances. And it’s not an either/or by any stretch of the imagination.
How Does Accepting Ourselves – Good AND Bad – Empower Us?
Nobody goes through life without both good and bad.
Accepting that is empowering.
How does acceptance empower us?
Mindfulness lets us see – here and now – what we’re thinking, what we’re feeling, how we’re feeling, what we’re doing, and what our intentions are. That knowledge opens us to see who, what, where, how, and why we are.
